Add footage and line it up with your data

Import a video clip as a camera channel, lined up so each frame plays at the moment it was filmed.

Before you start

  • The video file, on the machine running Phloem Computer — .mp4, .mov, .mkv, .webm, .avi and more.
  • The test's data, already recorded on this machine.
  • A moment both show, like a flash, a light coming on or a valve step.

Steps

  1. Open Inputs, press Add input, and choose Video file.
  2. Press Choose footage and pick the clip. A badge reading decodes means it can import, with its size once imported. Any other badge says why not.
  3. Under Align against, pick a channel that shows the moment. The most recently recorded one is picked for you.
  4. Find the moment on the trace. Pick a window with 10s, 1m, 10m or 1h, and step with ◀ ▶.
  5. Click the moment on the trace.
  6. Step the footage to the frame that shows it, with ◀ ▶ under the picture or the slider. The line beside the buttons says how far off the footage sits.
  7. Press Pin this frame. It reads pinned, good to one frame.
  8. Press Import.

Check it worked

The pane reads imported … frames onto …. The clip appears under Imported footage with its frame count and start time. Open Replay at that moment to watch it beside your data.

Note

To re-align a clip, press Remove and import the file again. The time is written onto each frame, so there is no offset to change later.
